Many people don't like leftovers but I, on the other hand, like leftovers prepared in ways that they weren't meant to be. For instance.......

Spaghetti: I put the leftover spaghetti in a frying pan with a little salt, cover and let simmer, stirring occasionally. This method gives the spaghetti a unique taste that is almost better than freshly cooked.

Pizza: Same as spaghetti, cover the bottom of the frying pan with a little salt. fry the pizza until the cheese melts a little. This way the crust stays crunchy not mushy like it is from a microwave.

Mashed Potatoes: I don't eat mashed potatoes when they are made fresh but after they've been in the refrigerator overnight I'll take the potatoes and make little potato cakes out of them. Again, fry them until a golden brown crust appears on each side then top with over easy eggs, it makes a great breakfast.

If I have a dish of left over vegetables I'll mash them all together. Then I either fry it (likebubble and squeak) or just reheat it in the microwave and stir some ketchup through it all. Nice with cold sausages

I like "cold" spaghetti. Not ice cold but spaghetti that has been mixed with sauce and stored overnight in the fridge and then set out in the morning to be room temperature by lunch. YUM!

Left over turkey. Hot open faced turkey and gravy sandwiches.

Left over pizza = breakfast

left over veggies, becomes Shepherd's pie.

Before microwaves, I used to fry the mashed potatoes, stuffing and Turkey all in 1 skillet. I think I will do that again next Thanksgiving or Xmas!
